Watch With Glittering Eyes

Hello friends.  How are you doing this Christmas season?  Not a lot happening this week, but next week we will have a little 'baking get together', which should be fun. 

I had my morning coffee in my red tea cup because it reminds me of the colors of Christmas.



My son is a good cook, and he made me a rice dish one night with lots of veggies.  It was delicious.



Nel got her tree, and it looks so pretty sitting in the corner of her house.  Mia had fun at the tree lot, and I love the look of wonder on her face.





Francesca is really into Woody now and all the characters of Toy Story.

I came across this picture of Nel with Santa.  She was 5 years old.  She was never scared to sit on Santa's lap or go to school.  She was a brave girl.

 When I took a picture of my white Christmas fairy, the brooch she's wearing showed up in different colors each time.....magic.   My fairy sends you kisses this week.

And Above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.  Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.

Good morning sweet Sheri!

This season of 2020, I think we are all looking with glittering eyes in hopes of finding our paths again. Needless to say, it's a Christmas many will want to forget but many of us never will forget.

It's been a creative "struggle" to find meaning but I think many of us are finding it. It's within us.

Love the fairy but most of all I love the chocolates that she is looking over. Those girls are just so special. What all was in that rice dish. I love to try diff and new things.

Faith said...

She is lovely, is she vintage? She has a certain vintage look to her face, like the beautiful actresses from the 40's and 50's.
